Toward Inexpensive Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution: A Nickel Sulfide Catalyst Supported on a High-Stability Metal–Organic Framework
Abstract
Few-atom clusters composed of nickel and sulfur have been successfully installed into the Zr(IV)-based metal–organic framework (MOF) NU-1000 via ALD-like chemistry (ALD = atomic layer deposition). Here, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy are used to determine that primarily Ni2+ and S2– sites are deposited within the MOF. In a pH 7 buffered aqueous solution, the porous catalyst is able to produce H2 gas at a rate of 3.1 mmol g–1 h–1 upon UV irradiation, whereas no H2 is generated by irradiating bare NU-1000. Upon visible light irradiation, little H2 generation was observed; however, with the addition of an organic dye, rose bengal, NiS-AIM can catalyze the production of H2 at an enhanced rate of 4.8 mmol g–1 h–1. These results indicate that ALD in MOFs (AIM) can engender reactivity within high surface area supports for applications in the solar fuels field.
